Complaints

If an issue regarding a disputed transaction or account charge remains unresolved after contacting customer support, follow the formal South African consumer complaints sequence:

1. Internal Escalation: Request a supervisor or formal manager review with TFG Customer Services, keeping a complete record of your reference numbers.
2. Written Dispute Submission: Send your dispute in writing to the Forensic Department or formal complaints desk, clearly outlining dates, amounts, and prior correspondence.
3. External Escalation: If the matter is not resolved satisfactorily through internal channels, consumers may approach relevant dispute resolution bodies such as the Credit Ombudsman or the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud (CGSO).

Fraud or escalation routes

For severe financial fraud or criminal identity theft, reporting to the internal corporate forensic department should be paired with external enforcement steps:

• South African Police Service (SAPS): File an official criminal affidavit at your local SAPS station to receive a case number, which may be required by financial forensic investigators.
• Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS): Register with SAFPS if your identity documents have been compromised to prevent unauthorized accounts from being opened in your name.
• Public Corruption & Whistleblowing: If your query relates to broader commercial corruption or public sector identity misuse, national resources such as the [Anti Corruption Hotline South Africa] offer confidential reporting channels.

What to prepare before contacting

To help forensic agents investigate your claim efficiently, gather all relevant documentation prior to placing a call or sending an email:

• Account Details: Your TFG account number or store card identification number.
• Personal Identification: South African ID number or passport number.
• Transaction Details: Exact transaction dates, amounts, store locations, or online references under dispute.
